574's are my favorite shoes. Perfect fit every time-- and they last 4-6 months despite me walking at least 5 miles outside every day.
Reviewer Alexander E Gibson
Great shoes, i will be replacing the soles of the shoe. I do love these shoes, they were much more comfortable than my converse for walking around in on vacation. I will be finding some better inserts to walk around on though, I thought the memory foam would have been a little more comfortable, but they were still great. K Swiss will always be my favorite, even if this white color wasn't the best choice for walking around New Orleans.

Just a great walking shoe for this old man. Easy on and off, a cushioned sole, and plenty wide. As reviewers stated, they tend to pick up rocks off our driveway.

Well, I’m glad they still sell these. This is all my husband wears. The price can’t be beat! All of the footwear stores want $75.00 or more. This is probably his 100th pair so I guess he loves them! Looks great and lasts long time too. Very comfortable. He wears them to work and hasn’t complained at all.

I'm a big fan of Skechers and these did not disappoint. I have bad feet, but the souls of Skechers forms to my feet, making them as comfortable as I can hope for. They're stylish and fit well. If there is any negative to Skechers, it is that they don't last as long as some other name brands, but that's any easy tradeoff for the comfort they provide.

I normally only wear 574's from New Balance, but I purchased these because they share the same shoe last and they're similar. I can't say that I like them as well, but they're alright.
I believe the mid-soles are different, and while I think I like the 574 mid-sole better, the 565 doesn't seem bad. One thing I definitely don't like as well is the lack of mesh in the all-suede upper. They probably don't breath as well, but that's not a huge factor for me in a suede shoe. I just like the looks of the mesh/suede combo better then the all-suede shoe.
I saved my final criticism for last, because it applies to both the 565 and 574 models of "Lifestyle and Retro" shoes. These are the ones with model numbers that start with "ml". I don't like them because they appear to be the hipster version of New Balance shoes, with laces that usually match the suede. Like any good hipster shoe, they seem to be more narrow, which is antithetical to the very thing that made the 574, and probably 565, popular shoes in the first place (i.e. spacious.) Even though these are supposedly made on the same shoe last as other models in the line, they definitely don't have the advertised toe depth of the SL-2 shoe last. I've also noticed that many New Balance shoes made on the SL-2 last don't seem to be as wide as they used to be, so that issue probably isn't for the lifestyle and retro shoes alone.
Seems strange that New Balance would ruin a popular line of shoes by changing the very things that made them popular, but that's what they seem to be doing. For customers that want a more narrow 574, it seems like New Balance would just suggest the 363 or one of their models made on narrow shoe lasts. Regardless, I wish they'd leave the SL-2 shoes alone, so that customer who appreciate them can continue to do so. I've worn them for 20 years and the only thing that will stop that is if New Balance changes the shoes so much that they're not the same.

By far one of the most comfortable shoes I've had. Very good support in the heel and the arch. I'm a wide 2E and wear 9.5-10. bought these in a 10 have about an inch worth of space in the to but I'm good with that.
I don't do much running but doing squats in them was like doing squats on a floor, a soft cushioned supported floor for my foot.
This shoe is great. Will buy another pair.
Reviewer C Blanc
Second pair. Very nice shoes
Reviewer Gabe M
Quality footwear. Genuine soft leather upper. Bought at the sale price so was very good value for money.
Reviewer JULI
My husband loves these shoes. They are well made and comfortable. However, the fit is about 1/2 size smaller than the chart suggests. They are also a narrow width for a "D". You might want to consider a "E" width.
